While a ’99-’01 Cobra’s driveability typically isn’t affected by the addition of the CAI (when stock mass air and injectors are used), tuning still is a bit more involved than it is for the first-gen Snakes, primarily due to the way the air increase affects the aforementioned cylinder heads and intake manifold. For experimentations sake, we loaded SCT’s pre-programmed Strategy tune into the processor to see exactly how it would perform. As expected, despite a modest gain produced by the canned tune, factory knock sensors still retarded timing at 4,800 rpm, the sweet spot of the rpm range.
